As part of our holiday gift extravaganza, might we suggest the practical present of modern lunch containers? Here are three green-minded options for reusable food transport:

Stainless steel: Kids Konserve originally designed kids' lunch ware but now makes containers for adults. The U-Konserve collection includes a 33-ounce leak-proof stainless steel rectangle (with plastic lid) for $17. A two-pack of reusable Food Kozy sandwich wrappers is $9 to $9.50. A reusable bamboo spork is $5.50. Let's also admit that the kid-size steel containers and canvas lunch sack could work for adults too.

Plastic: EasyLunchboxes serve up food bento style, with three compartments in a single box. They're made of plastic that is free of bisphenol A, or BPA, and polyvinyl chloride, or PVC, and phthalates. A set of four is $13.95.
